Falling down laughing!!

I am absolutely in love with my niece! (yes I know I am not married yet but they refer to me as auntie so I feel okay calling her my niece.) Her name is Raevyn and she is 6 months old. She is the most adorable. I gave her a nickname of Lil' Mo. All of her hair has not grown in and she has a mohawk right now. It's so cute! Last night her and mommy came over for dinner and we were just all playing on the floor. She started making this face that was just absolutely hilarious. She doesn't cry but she huffs and puffs while making this face and it was just too funny. It was how she was getting attention from everyone if they looked away and every time my moms dog would walk by she would give the dog this face! I was dying. Man... I can't wait to have kids!

I love Halloween!!

On friday night we had our Trunk or Treat at church. My mom did a spectacular job of putting it all together!!! They had a chili and cinnamon roll contest, costume contest, and decorating trunk contest. They also set up games for the kids in all the rooms. There was pumpkin toss, shooting gallery, darts, bobbing for apples, sword fighting (with swim noodles), a duck pond... tons of games and then they would each get tickets to redeem for prizes. The kids love it every year! Then afterward we all go outside for the trunk or treat! I think the church was so smart to start this up. The kids enjoy getting as much candy as possible and at the same time don't have to trance around every neighborhood to do it. Although I love to see the lil' ones coming up to the door all excited to see what kind of candy they can get next!! And the costumes are just so fun to see!!! Then yesterday Gary and I went to Boo at the Zoo with his family. Oh my gosh... so crowded and so fun to see all the kids just so excited to go to the zoo to get candy. I am so doing this every year!!!

Estes Park

Last weekend was Gary's moms birthday. We drove up to Estes Park for the afternoon and walked the town. It was a beautiful day and the colors were still good. We met Gary's mom and sister and her baby Raevyn up there. It was so nice to get out and enjoy the weather and the fresh air. It's one of my most favorite places to go and stroll through all the shops. At one point Brandy gave Raevyn a huge sucker... well as you can see... she loved it!!

My future!!

FINALLY! It has happened for me! I have met the one person that truly makes me the happiest!!! We are getting married Feb. 7th and I can hardly wait to start our lives together as husband and wife. It's been fun getting wedding plans together and preparing for our big day! In the past I never understood the kind of love bonds a husband and wife. I see clearly now how it happens. I never knew I could love like this or feel so loved. He is my best friend!!

Fall is here and winter is already on the way!!!

I LOVE IT!!! This is my favorite time of year!! I love the fall especially with all of it's harvest colors and everyone looks all cozy in their sweaters and you smell all the fireplaces going! Makes me want to cozy up now and bring on the HOT COCOA!! YUM!! I went to Estes Park a few weeks ago and got to see the leaves changing colors and listen to the Elk bugle! It was so much fun and just a perfect day!

Birthday Celebrations in September

I had great birtday gifts this year!! My actual birthday was in August but with tickets being bought I did more celebrating in the month of September!! My sister bought her and I tickets to go see Carrie Underwood and we just got lucky enough that Lady Antebellum opened for her! I could have watched them all night long! Carrie was good but sorry to say no match for her opener! Nikki bought me tickets to see the the play Avenue Q! SO FUNNY! It's puppets mixed with humans, lots of crude, drug, sexual, and racist humor. Yep I laughed, laughed through the whole darn thing and wondered how many of the old folks would be walking out. But everyone seemed to enjoy it as much as I did. My cousin bought tickets for me to see Montgomery Gentry and Toby Keith! PHENOMINAL!! Again they always end concerts way too early. I could have kept going! I had so much fun celebrating my birthday with everyone this year! Thanks - Ang, Nikki, and Heather for my bday gifts!!!
